Good point, by "modified HADK" I mean the procedure described here; https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Sailfish_X_Build_and_Flash

@coco_f2001 it seems to me you are building in virtualbox, right?
It should not make a difference but maybe it does, in this case.
I myself am using the chroot environment so cannot say offhand what is failing in your setup.

Yes I was using the link you mentioned: https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Sailfish_X_Build_and_Flash

It must be something changed in the procedure from the previous versions probably.

I managed to install the trial official image from the Jolla store.
Looks good!

lvm> exit

resize2fs /dev/sailfish/home
resize2fs /dev/sailfish/root
exit
I am trying that on an X Compact (Sailfish X patched from here). The phone has been running Sailfish X for weeks with no issues. I went into Recovery mode (using this and this).

Except some Input/Output warnings at the beginning (but other people have had this too with no consequences), everything seemed to go well until "resize2fs /dev/sailfish/home". At this step, I get the following:

Code:
/ # resize2fs /dev/sailfish/home
resize2fs 1.43.1 (08-Jun-2016)
Resizing the filesystem on /dev/sailfish/home to 4144128 (4k) blocks.
resize2fs: Can't read a block bitmap while trying to resize /dev/sailfish/home
Please run 'e2fsck -fy /dev/sailfish/home' to fix the filesystem
after the aborted resize operation.
/ #
And unfortunately "e2fsck -fy /dev/sailfish/home" fails too:

Code:
/ # e2fsck -fy /dev/sailfish/home
e2fsck 1.43.1 (08-Jun-2016)
The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 5192704 blocks
The physical size of the device is 4144128 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!
Abort? yes
Any ideas? I haven't rebooted yet because I'm afraid it will fail, but on the other hand I don't expect to receive an answer tonight. :<

I tried to revert it to what it was with this:

But now I am in a boot loop, of course.

Back to recovery mode, it now says my root partition cannot be mounted:

I am kind of hopeless, I would really want to avoid a factory reset. I know I should have made a backup, but I was probably too confident after doing the same procedure with no issues on my Jolla C several times. Even if a factory reset or even a Sailfish X reflash are the only way, I would want to backup my $HOME from the recovery shell first, but I have no idea how to do that since my rootfs does not mount anymore.

Oh my. Is seems I have solved it by myself (this is the miraculous part) after multiple attempts. It's late so I won't detail/analyze what I did now, but for the record, below is the history of the recovery shell showing a session where rootfs still didn't mount:

Rebooting...
And unfortunately I can't see the history of what I did that fixed it, because I typed "exit" to return to the Recovery mode main menu and rebooted; it didn't keep the history.

From what I remember, I did something like the following (please don't paste those commands blindly, I'm not sure this is correct):

Code:
resize2fs /dev/sailfish/home 17G
lvm
vgs
lvresize -L -2048M /dev/sailfish/home
lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/sailfish/root
lvscan
exit
resize2fs /dev/sailfish/home
resize2fs /dev/sailfish/root
exit
Still didn't work, went back to Recovery shell, rootfs still failed to mount:

Code:
resize2fs /dev/sailfish/home 15G
lvm
vgs
lvresize -L -2048M /dev/sailfish/home
lvresize -l +100%FREE /dev/sailfish/root
lvscan
exit
resize2fs /dev/sailfish/home
resize2fs /dev/sailfish/root
exit
And this time it worked. Again, please, don't reproduce these steps unless you want to bork your Xperia X. I am absolutely not sure what I listed is accurate since I may not remember exactly all commands I ran. However, it seems that the issue came from the 11G I used initially when following the Xperia X how-to I quoted, while maybe 15G was more appropriate for my device (either because the X Compact has different partition sizes, or because I had too much data on $HOME).

I'm trying to install Sailfish X to Sony Xperia XA2 on a Mac and I'm stuck at that point, renaming the .img did not help.

For an XA2 you should be using SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_8.1.6.4_r1_v16_nile .img and no need to change image name.https://developer.sony.com/file/down...rnel-4-4-nile/

Only problem I found that on Mac needed to use
HTML Code:
./flash.sh
instead of
HTML Code:
flash.sh

hello,

out if curiosity, has somebody manage to built a community edition of Sailfish OS using the latest "Baseport 8" abstraction layer (like the one they use on Xperia XA2) atop of the current kernel 4.4 that Sony provides for AOSP 8.1 Oreo for the Xperia X ?
(or even the upcoming kernel 4.9 that is currently in beta at Sony and could go all.the way uo to AOSP 9 Pie)

that's even more interesting recently:
- that's not only a newer kernel that would fix some bugs.
- this is also the abstraction layer required to be running the new Android 8.1 compatibility layer ( and which the current 3.10 kernel for Android 6.0.1 used in the current abatraction layer obviously can't run)
